Your trip starts in Copenhagen, where you fly to Nuuk and land over lunch. From Nuuk Airport, you will be transferred to the lovely Hotel for your accommodation. Nuuk is a small yet vibrant Arctic city where modern life meets raw polar nature. With a population of around 19,000, it feels intimate but offers the best infrastructure in Greenland. Surrounded by mountains, fjords, and ice-filled waters, Nuuk offers breathtaking scenery year-round. In winter, everything is snow-covered; in summer, the landscape turns green under the midnight sun. Later we proceed for Nuuk City Tour which includes a visit to the Greenland National Museum. Here, you’ll have the privilege of seeing finds from all periods and civilizations in Greenland. After about 30 minutes at the museum, we continued around the area called Kolonihavnen. This is where most of the original houses from the 17th and 18th centuries still stand. On the way we pass Hans Egede’s house, the sculpture of the Mother of the Sea, and the controversial statue of Hans Egede at the Greenland Cathedral. We then head to ‘Kalaaliaraq,’ the traditional market where locally caught fish, seals, and reindeer are sold. Now, we head towards Greenland’s government buildings and then Greenland’s Cultural Center, Katuaq, where our tour ends. You’re now as central as you can be, with great shopping opportunities. And many other exciting things to do.

Enjoy breakfast at hotel. Nuuk offers plenty of things & many hiking opportunities. Around 3:30 pm, we depart from Nuuk on a boat trip to the lovely Qooqqut Nuan Restaurant. We sail through the vast fjord system behind Nuuk, the second-largest fjord system in the world. In the Qooqqut Fjord, we stop the engine and try to catch our lunch. Today, there will be no complaints that the fish is not fresh! Qooqqut lies in a wonderful valley in the Qooqqut Fjord. The mountains surrounding the valley are up to 2,000 meters high. One of Nuuk’s most respected chefs moves here in the summer and serves the most amazing dishes. For lunch, we get to eat our own freshly caught fish. As something rather unique in Greenland, the area behind the restaurant features a beautiful scattering of trees. Consider taking a short hike for a great photo opportunity while the chef is preparing your fish. After lunch, we return to the boat and sail to Nuuk

Enjoy breakfast at hotel. Your journey continues to Ilulissat and the Ice fjord by plane. The fact that Ilulissat means icebergs in Greenlandic is undeniably linked to the beautiful Ice fjord and the number of icebergs floating around at their own pace. On arrival at Ilulissat we head down to the harbor and take a boat to Disko Island. As you get closer to the island, you will see the majestic mountains, which rise a thousand meters above the surface of the ocean. At the top of the mountain, the giant glacier, Sermersuaq, is located, and it covers all of the west side of Disko Island. After arriving in the small town of Qeqertarsuaq, you will be accommodated at the local hotel. After arrival, there is an information meeting to give you an introduction to this rugged, yet stunning island.
Qeqertarsuaq is the main town of Disko Island, which in Greenlandic is also called Qeqertarsuaq. With its various colored houses, it has a very idyllic setting with the harbor and the mountains on one side and the coast and sea on the other. It is not uncommon to spot whales when strolling along the coast. There is time for a town walk. Along the way, you will encounter a lot of beautiful sights for your travel photography. Due to its characteristic octagonal shape, the church in Qeqertarsuaq is called The Lord’s Ink Pot, and it is worth a visit. The same goes for the museum, which is located in the former doctor’s residence and the home of the North Greenland Governor, as it was called in a bygone era. A very special sight, which you only experience so spectacularly in Qeqertarsuaq, is soccer, played on a course that lies next to the water. It is an incredible sight to see the young people running around on a green field, while huge, white icebergs flow past just next to them

After breakfast, you can enjoy a guided walk to Kuannit. We hike from the hotel in town, pass the Red River at the bridge, and continue along the coast. At Kuannit, we can see how the lava sprang up millions of years ago and then, during rapid cooling, contracted and cracked into spectacular lava sculptures in the shape of 6-sided basalt columns. The fauna at Kuannit is very lush with a variety of flowers and tasty Angelica plants. On the coastline, you will find a basalt stone shaped like an elephant drinking directly from the sea

After breakfast we check-out & head by boat to Ilulissat. Upon arrival in Ilulissat, you will be picked up by Hotel Arctic’s bus, and as you approach the hotel, you can enjoy the hotel’s location at the edge of the town, overlooking the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ilulissat Ice Fjord. Ilulissat is a great mix of modern life and traditional Greenlandic living. Kayaks and dry fish are placed on racks side by side with the laundry, and thousands of sled dogs add character to the town, providing a unique atmosphere with their howls. Some people might think: “We can just take a walk around the town on our own.” The guide will tell you about the history of the town, the Greenlandic culture, and contemporary life, almost 300 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. We will visit the fishermen at the harbor and the hunters at their trading post, “Brættet.” We will also show you the church and the birthplace of the famous Polar explorer Knud Rasmussen. Next we step into the world of Greenland’s iconic sled dogs on this guided tour that brings you closer to one of the Arctic’s most enduring symbols. Learn about their deep cultural roots, their role in traditional life, and how they continue to adapt in a changing world. Led by a knowledgeable guide, you’ll hear stories and insights about how these resilient dogs have helped shape life in the Arctic, from transportation and hunting to their continued relevance in today’s remote communities. You’ll gain a meaningful understanding of the special bond between humans and sled dogs in Greenland. The tour takes place outdoors, where the dogs thrive in their natural habitat. Their thick coats protect them against the harsh cold, making them well-suited for the open environment – not as indoor pets, but as strong, working companions. With the owner’s permission, you may approach selected dogs and experience the individual dog up close

Enjoy breakfast at hotel. Ilulissat is the Greenlandic word for icebergs. The town is beautifully situated at the mouth of the long and world-famous Ilulissat Ice fjord, which was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. Today we Hike to the former Sermermiut Settlement. The beautiful icebergs of the Ilulissat Ice fjord form the backdrop for the ancient settlement of Sermermiut, one and a half kilometers south of the town. For 4,000 years, the different Inuit cultures lived at the settlement, and today you can still see many remains that testify to their presence. At night, you can see the icebergs from the sea. Later we proceed for (2 ½ Hrs) Sailing among Icebergs. The rays of the midnight sun give the icebergs a unique color that some people return to Ilulissat to experience again and again. Almost every visitor to Ilulissat chooses to try this iceberg cruise at least once. More than 40 million tons of ice flow daily from the Ilulissat Glacier into the Icefjord. The result is enormous icebergs that can be hundreds of meters on each side and extend up to 70 meters above sea level. These giants are stranded at the mouth of the Icefjord, and here you have the opportunity to sail among them. Bring warm clothes for the trip or rent a sealskin suit, because even in summer, it’s cold out here on the water between the icebergs

After breakfast we proceed to enjoy Whale Safari. It is a great experience to get close to large animals like whales. There are 15 species of whale in Greenland. During the summer, we see the humpback, the common minke whale, and the fin whale. The whales swim the entire Disko Bay during the summer; sometimes close to the town, sometimes in the ice fjord, or up north by the island, Arveprinsens Ejland. We constantly communicate with the fishermen and the hunters about the whales and their whereabouts. The humpback, with its characteristic fin, is the one we see most often. Today, you also have the opportunity to try kayaking in the country that invented the kayak.

Breakfast at the hotel. Today morning we set out from Ilulissat & travel north by boat to the fascinating Eqi Glacier, one of Greenland’s unique natural wonders. Only a few places in Greenland are as beautiful as the Eqi Glacier, which ends in the fjord 80 kilometers north of Ilulissat. It is possible to get very close to the glacier by boat and experience huge pieces of ice breaking off. The sounds are thunderous, and the sight of ice crashing into the water is astonishing. After a good lunch in front of the Eqi Glacier, the boat anchors at Glacier Lodge Eqi, where you will stay in cabins facing the glacier. The untamed nature is just outside the door, and from the terrace, you can take in the overwhelming silence, which is only broken by the crashing sound of ice calving. The cabins at Glacier Lodge Eqi are cozy and offer great views. If you haven’t already sensed the calm, it will come to you right here. Only the natural roar of the glacier, when it calves, breaks the silence.

Enjoy breakfast. Wake up to the silence and light of the wilderness – broken only by the distant rumble of the calving glacier. After breakfast in the café, where panoramic windows offer sweeping views of the fjord, the day is yours to enjoy this unique and remote location. From here, you have two very different ways to experience Eqi – and the choice is entirely yours. If you’re seeking quiet and presence, you’re welcome to stay in camp and let the landscape speak to you in its own rhythm. Settle in on the terrace and breathe in the fresh air from the fjord. Perhaps you’ll photograph the many shades of blue in the ice, read a good book with the glacier as your backdrop, or simply enjoy a coffee in the café, where the large windows let you follow the glacier’s activity – even from the comfort of indoors. There is no internet at Glacier Lodge Eqi – and that’s a gift. You’ll quickly notice how your body and mind begin to relax. No matter how you choose to spend the day, we’ll gather again in the café for dinner, where the kitchen serves warm dishes made from local Greenlandic ingredients. You might witness the sun painting the sky gold behind icebergs and mountains – or hear another deep rumble from the glacier, reminding you of just how close to nature you really are.
Then it’s time for your final night at Glacier Lodge Eqi

Breakfast at Lodge. You will wake up to a fantastic glacier view yet again. You have the morning to explore the area a little more. The area has abundant wildlife and geology. Polar foxes, hares, grouse, and sea eagles are often seen on land while seals swim near the camp. When you are on your own in the wild and desolate landscape, you will undoubtedly get a sense of walking in the footsteps of famous Arctic explorers. From the cabins, we hike around the small lagoon at the southern end of the glacier. There are often large flocks of geese in the lagoon in the breeding season. The trip goes further up the moraine, where we can look down into the enormous cracks in the glacier a few meters away from us. From here, we will also get an overview of the glacier-front, and we will see hopefully see some impressive calvings from the glacier. After lunch, the boat will take you back to Ilulissat, where you will arrive in the early evening

Join us on an exciting tour to the small settlement of Oqaatsut, where we combine sailing among icebergs, a kayaking adventure in stunning surroundings, and a delightful lunch at the historic Restaurant H8. The tour begins in Ilulissat, where you will meet our experienced kayaking instructor. You will receive a thorough safety briefing and an introduction to the equipment. Dressed in high-quality Kokatat drysuits, we are ready to paddle safely and comfortably. From here, we set off by boat towards Oqaatsut. Along the way, we pass the magnificent icebergs of Disko Bay drifting gracefully along the coast – an unforgettable experience in itself. Once in Oqaatsut, we receive the final instructions on land before launching the kayaks into the water. We paddle out in double kayaks across the beautiful bay where the village lies, surrounded by mountains and icebergs. Along the way, we can enjoy the peace, the natural surroundings, the views, and a sandwich brought along for lunch. After the tour, we return to Oqaatsut and change back into our regular clothes. Following a guided village walk, we take our seats at Restaurant H8 Explorer, where we enjoy a two-course dinner prepared with local ingredients in charming, historic surroundings. Afterwards, we return by boat to Ilulissat, filled with impressions from a day where sea, ice, and culture came together in perfect harmony. This tour is not recommended if you have severe neck or back problems, and participants must be at least 12 years old

Enjoy breakfast at hotel. Offering one final view of the Ice Fjord and the captivating icebergs, the flight will take you back to Nuuk and onwards to Copenhagen, where you will arrive in the evening. We hope you had a wonderful experience in Greenland.
